I take them as an indication as to the reason people are watching the video, an indication of how people felt about the video. How did you miss my point so badly?

I was more commenting on the fact that most people don't regard YouTube comments seriously as there's either a massive flame wars or general immaturity in the comments. My point is, its general knowledge that YouTube comments are a pretty horrible indicator of why people watch Lisa Foiles'(or anyone's)videos. Back when Lisa's Top 5 was on the Escapist before, the YouTube style immaturity was a lot less rampant on the Escapist forums, as I expect them to be this time around.

This is great news. One of the reasons I became a regular, I don't care what anyone says I thought her Top 5's were some of the most imaginative and well put together, without taking itself too seriously. The nature of Top 5 lists is that they are boring and lack any kind of originality nowadays, but her presentation really picked it up for me. I mean, how can a bubbly blonde girl genuinely interested in games *not* make your day? (Unless you are a pathetic hater who doesn't agree with her lists and that gets you upset, in which case chill out man they're opinions)

Yeah, I had no use for this series before, and I don't now. SO much of the popularity seems to be less about content and more eye candy. If she did it in a format more like the Big Picture or ZP, I wonder if it would have the same following it does now.

Even though I've more or less kept track of her stuff, I'm glad she's coming back to the Escapist. It's nice to have something that recognizes games don't have to be Serious Business all the time, and that we can celebrate the fun, goofy stuff about it without being overly negative. And Lisa was a lot more honest and enthusiastic than most presenters in that realm.

Yuuki:Hmm...I hate to be the one to throw the wet blanket on everything, but I get the feeling that a lot of of her Youtube views didn't come from the jokes or the actual content of her videos. At least, judging by some of the top comments.

Ever notice her videos had about 100 times as many views as comments? And two to three times as many "Likes"? Maybe YouTube comments aren't a good metric for...well...anything, really.

Eh, I always thought this show came off as cheap pandering with mediocre content, but at least it's better than that smosh crap or the ginx tv or whatever it was. I wish we could get some real shows back, like There will be Brawl or Doomsday Arcade.

Well this is genuinely good news. I'm not usually a big fan of top 5 videos but I can't deny that Lisa brought a certain charm that made them truly enjoyable to watch, especially with oft irreverent skits in-between.
